SpeckI've been teaching myself the mandolin on and off for a few years, but I'm usually out of practice.

Cool! XD Sounds like a fun thing to learn.

I play piano and violin. But I guess if you play violin, you can also play viola and cello as long as you can read the music. I can kinda read alto , sooo. Yep.

But I've wanted to learn guitar for a long time. Partly because it's a tad more versatile than a violin, but mostly because people are always like, “Oh. Cool?” when I tell them that I play violin. I wanna be one of the cool kids that plays guitar. XD

I used to practise keyboard when I was younger. Used to lug my own in every week at primary school so I could learn. But the lessons weren't very good and I knew it. Because I couldn't move onto using two hands. But my parents couldn't afford proper tutoring so that was what I had to do to get at least some skill. I taught myself how to play warious tunes by ear with one hand. And despite an injury to my left hand and wrist I got in early 2000, I tried as hard as I could in high school to perform the two handed music sheets with the chord assist mode on. And I was so good at them that at the end of every music lesson I'd have enough spare time to learn a few extra tunes by myself. Including a popular dance track at the time.But then, I was given a choice. A choice I regret to this day. I couldn't pick both art and music. So on an almost coin-toss decision I went with art. Where I wasn't allowed to be as creatively expressive. And because of the RIDICULOUS homework amounts I was getting from that and other classes I was sitting at a table at least 10 hours some nights doing nothing but homework. And something really bad happened in one class when I was 15 that still affects my hearing today.

I had to stop practising so often. Then completely stopped. And my keyboard is now a shelf. It's almost never plugged in. And when I try to play again I just get depressed because of why I hadn't played it for so long.

FUCKING EDUCATION SYSTEM!!!
